Southerndown Golf Club

Bridgend

Course Description

Bracken to the left of you, bracken to the right and fairway rising up to the sky! Henry Cotton described this 1st hole as one of the most difficult he had encountered.

A great addition to any Wales golf break, Southerndown Golf Course is quite unique. Nature has crafted an unusual ‘limestone-heath’ on which the course sits. The overlying soil supports acid-loving heathland vegetation such as heather, bracken and gorse; and the westerly winds have deposited centuries of sand to give the front eight holes a springy, links-style character.

The original course architects with a unique tableau on which to work. Willie Fernie, Herbert Fowler, Willie Park, Harry Colt and Donald Steel – some great names in golf course design – have all played their part over the years in creating Southerndown as we know it today

The course was a Senior Open Qualifier Course in 2017 and the tough finish with multi level and undulating fairways makes this a great test of golf.
